Today, we’re celebrating a major milestone for the future of advanced nuclear energy. BWXT manufactured TRISO fuel has successfully powered Antares Nuclear’s reactor through first criticality, marking the first new reactor to reach this milestone under the Administration’s Executive Order 14301. Congratulations to the @AntaresNuclear team, the U.S. Department of @ENERGY (DOE), @INL and all those involved! This achievement demonstrates what’s possible when U.S. innovation, proven fuel technology and a worldclass nuclear workforce come together. Huge credit goes to the #BWXT teams whose skill, precision and dedication continue to advance next generation reactor demonstrations across the country. Exciting days ahead! bwxt.com/bwxt-manufactures-t… #NuclearEnergy #TRISO #AdvancedReactors

The next generation of nuclear reactors won’t look like traditional nuclear plants. Advanced nuclear is moving toward smaller, modular, factory-built systems designed for flexible deployment where power is needed most. At @hadron_energy, we’re developing the Hadron Halo MMR: a compact, factory-built light-water microreactor designed to deliver reliable, carbon-free power for up to 10 years without refueling and with a targeted 60-year operating life. What differentiates the Halo MMR is its ability to combine traditional light-water reactor reliability with true factory-built, transportable, modular deployment. Each Halo MMR is designed to generate 10 MWe of power in a modular reactor system measuring roughly 3x12 meters per unit. Because they’re factory-manufactured and transportable by truck or rail, deployment can be faster, more flexible, and scalable to growing power demand. Multiple units can also be deployed at a single site, allowing power capacity to scale for: - AI infrastructure - Industrial sites - Remote operations - Defense and government facilities Our engineering team has rapidly iterated through many design cycles to optimize the core and plant design to be an efficient and reliable reactor that provides power in a modular form factor. The long-term vision is scalable manufacturing: building standardized reactors on assembly lines to reduce costs, speed up deployment, and support the next generation of energy infrastructure.
